The Supremes Sing Country, Western & Pop is the fourth studio album recorded by The Supremes, issued by Motown in February 1965 (see 1965 in music). The album was presented as a covers/tribute album of country songs, as Ray Charles had done with his album Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music. However, over half of the selections on The Supremes Sing Country, Western & Pop were written in-house by Motown staffer Clarence Paul. One of the songs on the album is "My Heart Can't Take It No More", which the Supremes had recorded in 1962 and released in 1963 as a single.
One of Paul's songwriting partners on the album was his fourteen-year-old charge Stevie Wonder, making the Supremes the first act besides Wonder himself to record Wonder's songs.
Motown's session group, The Andantes, appear on all but two of the tracks. They accompany Ross completely above Wilson and Ballard on "Baby Doll".[citation needed][clarification needed]
The album was a modest success peaking at #79 on the Billboard Top 200. It sold around 200,000 copies.[3] Though the album did not make the Billboard Country Album charts, Diana would later record a couple of solo country singles most famously, "Sorry Doesn't Always Make it Right".
